What I like about the Laboni Dog Beds is they leave the traditional look behind in favour of a more modern, pleasing, furniture aesthetic that blends well with any interior or exterior or décor. The focus of the various designs is the weave and whether woven large or small the Laboni Dog Beds add a fun and comfortable touch that both you and your pet will love.
